Night shift + '8 DAYS Eat' event


*Sigh, memory card failed... :( Have to get new one.*

Did night work at Tai Seng from Friday night to yesterday morning. Encountered some problems here and there when I was quite tired already, but luckily eveything got through. Left at 7 am after seeing everything is running fine, totally knocked out coz ignored the iPad alarm at 12 noon. Then heard ringtone from phone, but didn't got the chance to pick it up as I lagged in the movements lol.

Sia la! Already 1.15 pm liao! Still got lunch to eat and then dress up... Going to be late for the 8 DAYS Eat later!

Reached City Hall at 2.35 pm slightly after PG (he was one train ahead of me). Went to register ourselves early - actually we were one of the first few to arrive lol. The event started off with the host Yasminne (DJ of Class 95 FM) introducing Leslie Tay (ieatishootipost) and Brad Lau (ladyironchef). Leslie Tay gave some pretty good tips on how to shoot very nice food photos. Bokeh (or depth-of-field), rule of one-third lines and of course lighting are some essentials for achieving that. Most of them I already know so I'm taking some decent photos now le. Haha... Of course with phone camera, I guess I need a phone with good camera performance after all. Note 3 a bit disappointing leh... Now I'm leaning towards iPhone camera. :)

After Brad's short introductory speech, off we went to take photos and savour the food!

Stop 1: Su Food
Vegetarian. We chose corner seats of the 6-seater table. Then came two girls sitting beside us. Aigoo, Tiara was more extrobert (but still quite quiet), her friend 'Yi Ting' was totally like a dumb. Now I don't have any evil intention and want to talk bad about her, but she was soooo quiet until it's a bit awkward to be in a group.

Lastly, two guys joined in to fill up the table.

First dish: Appeitizer

 Second dish: Vegetarian Pita Pockets

 Third dish: Star Pizza

Lastly, cakes for desserts

And the black sesame puree cream.


Stop 2: Soup Spoon Union
Random nutella milkshake served while waiting for the mains. Very nice! Too bad no photo taken. =X
 
Chicken & Mushroom Ragout from Soup Spoon SG

Chicken Caesar Burger from Handburger

Khaosoi from Soup Broth Asia

By now, my tummy was fully loaded with food. All these for 2 to share?! How to finish it? Still got other stations one leh!


Stop 3: St Marc Cafe
Second time visiting it in a week!

Green tea latte, Classic Fuji and Chococro (takeaway)


Stop 4: Marche
By now I almost cannot eat further liao. Bumped into runcamelrun again, she was so excited that she did a high-five with PG mcs like the known each other for a long long time liao.

Prosciutto Ham Pizza

Norwegian Smoked Salmon Pizza

Apple Tart
 
Roasted Chicken Savoury Crepe
吃到這裡時
已經在那邊很死撐了
結果還是吃不完

Tiara won a prize for her review in the 8days app. runcamelrun and her ah lao won 2 times at one go for the instagram ! MCS! I cannot accept ds. Went Marina Square to walk walk before going over near to floating platform to see fireworks (NDP preview ds). There was this guy who was qs ssf mcs - talking to himself and shouting out the pledge when everybody around was standing there quietly enjoying the fireworks.

The fireworks was... errr... normal ba? Except this year they used a new fireworks where one could see a variety of colours from one burst. That one quite nice.

Went McD to redeem free coka cola drink then chill there and wait for time to pass. PG afraid his data explode as he kept surfing Instagram pics so tether for him to hook onto my data connection. Still, we managed only about 800 MB for that few hours of surfing and still, my data quota was never exceeeded! Total yang!

Then Nicholas went Changi Airport to meet HH for dinner @ 4Fingers. It's a mutual thing where Nicholas wanted to find out MOE interview from HH and HH wanted to SEE Nicholas lol. HDTM~

Went home to find that I won the Raffles City shopping mall contest with one of the pics taken at the 8 Days Eat event! TBH, IMO it wasn't the nicest among all. But who cares. Woohoo! This weekend is great (oh ya, I won $50 313 vouchers from the 313 social catalogue contest too)!

Damage for yesterday: $0 (!!!)
